The aim of Childcare Services is to provide high-quality, accessible and affordable nursery provision that meets the standards and expectations of University parents. The scale of the provision at Oxford is sector-leading, offering a total of 370 full time equivalent places for children aged between four months and five years, and a nursery place to staff ratio of 1:30.

The Head of Childcare Services reports to the Director of Human Resources and the University’s Childcare Steering Group, and interacts with a wide range of stakeholders including three corporate nursery partners and the Department of Education.
